Subject: [PATCH 1/1] hw/arm: do not free machine->fdt in arm_load_dtb()
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:10:53 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230323161053.412356-2-danielhb413@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230323161053.412356-1-danielhb413@gmail.com>
At this moment, arm_load_dtb() can free machine->fdt when
binfo->dtb_filename is NULL. If there's no 'dtb_filename', 'fdt' will be
retrieved by binfo->get_dtb(). If get_dtb() returns machine->fdt, as is
the case of machvirt_dtb() from hw/arm/virt.c, fdt now has a pointer to
machine->fdt. And, in that case, the existing g_free(fdt) at the end of
arm_load_dtb() will make machine->fdt point to an invalid memory region.
After the command 'dumpdtb' were introduced a couple of releases ago,
running it with any ARM machine that uses arm_load_dtb() will crash
QEMU.
One alternative would be to mark machine->fdt = NULL when exiting
arm_load_dtb() when freeing the fdt. Another is to not free the fdt and,
instead, update machine->fdt with the new fdt generated. This will
enable dumpdtb for all ARM machines that uses arm_load_dtb(), regardless
of having 'dtb_filename' or not.
